<DL><DT><B></B><DD><CODE>,load <CODE><I>filename&nbsp;...</I></CODE></CODE><BR>Loads the named Scheme source file(s).
    Easier to type than <CODE>(load "<CODE><I>filename</I></CODE>")</CODE> because you don't have to
    shift to type the parentheses or quote marks.  
    (However, it is still possible to specify a filename as a Scheme
    string literal, with quote marks--you'll need this for filenames
    containing whitespace.)
    Also, it works in
    any package, unlike <CODE>(load "<CODE><I>filename</I></CODE>")</CODE>, which will work only
    work in packages in which the variable <CODE>load</CODE> is defined appropriately.
<P><DT><B></B><DD><CODE>,exit [<CODE><I>exp</I></CODE>]</CODE>
    Exits back out to shell (or executive or whatever invoked Scheme&nbsp;48
    in the first place).
    <CODE><I>Exp</I></CODE> should evaluate to an integer.  The
    integer is returned to the calling program.
    The default value of <CODE><I>exp</I></CODE> is zero, which, on Unix,
    is generally interpreted as success.
